(19,546 posts)1. With Trump anything is possible.
Thing is, Democrats were looking at losing 6 seats with HRC in the Presidency.
If Trump does enough damage, Donnelly and McCaskill will cruise to re-election.

If Trump does enough damage can Donnelly's margin of victory be similar to Evan Bayh's 1998 /2004 margin of victory?

I don't get the sense that Donnelly is in particular danger other than being the sole statewide Democratic office-holder at the moment.
